The roots of Thai massage lie in ancient Indian medicine, which was brought to Thailand over 2000 years ago.  It has developed into a flowing style of dynamic massage embodying the wisdom of Buddhism and the spirit of Yoga as massage was considered a spiritual practice.  The giving of massage was understood to be a physical application of Metta, or loving kindness.

The method is based on the concept of invisible energy lines running through the body.  Working on these lines with massage stimulates the free flow of Prana (life energy in Yoga Philosophy) and helps to restore general well being.  This ‘applied physical yoga’ aids breathing, circulation and helps improve flexibility and alignment.  It is also an effective form of self-development, enhancing vitality and body awareness.

The massage, which takes about two hours, is performed while the client lies fully clothed on a futon mat on the floor.  The practitioner uses thumbs, hands, elbows and feet to massage along the energy lines whilst moving the body through a sequence of yoga stretches.  The unique experience will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and revitalised.
